Some of us who have already begun to break the
silence of the night have found that the calling
to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak
We must speak with all the humility that is
appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak
Perhaps a new spirit is rising among us. If it is
let us trace its movement well and pray that our
own inner being may be sensitive to its guidance
for we are deeply in need of a new way beyond
the darkness that seems so close around us

America, the richest and most powerful nation in the world
can well lead the way in this revolution of values
There is nothing to keep us from molding a
recalcitrant status quo with bruised hands
until we have fashioned it into a brotherhood

A genuine revolution of values means in the final analysis
that our loyalties must become ecumenical rather
than sectional. Every nation must now develop an
overriding loyalty to mankind as a whole in order
to preserve the best in their individual societies

This call for a worldwide fellowship that lifts
neighborly concern beyond one's tribe, race, class
and nation is in reality a call for an all-embracing
and unconditional love for all men. When I speak of love
I am not speaking of some sentimental and weak response
I am speaking of that force which all of the great
religions have seen as the supreme unifying
principle of life. Love is somehow the key
that unlocks the door which leads to ultimate reality
